Part 1 of the book (Chapters 1-7) gives you tools to build a healthy foundation for shared decision making. These tools will help you make your group's work meaningful and earn the respect of your boss and other outside parties. They show you how to negotiate your group's mandate and establish its rules of engagement and ethical code. Finally, it gives you tools to build relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
